Molecular modeling and inhibitor docking analysis of the Na<sup>+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup> exchanger isoform one
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Na+/H+ exchanger isoform one (NHE1) is a mammalian plasma membrane protein that removes intracellular protons, thereby elevating intracellular pH (pHi). NHE1 uses the energy of allowing an extracellular sodium down its gradient into cells to remove one intracellular proton. The ubiquitous protein has several important physiological and pathological influences on mammalian cells as a result of its activity. The three-dimensional structure of human NHE1 (hNHE1) is not known. Here, we modeled NHE1 based on the structure of MjNhaP1 of Methanocaldoccocus jannaschii in combination with biochemical surface accessibility data. hNHE1 contained 12 transmembrane segments including a characteristic Na+/H+ antiporter fold of two transmembrane segments with a helix – extended region – helix conformation crossing each other within the membrane. Amino acids 363–410 mapped principally to the extracellular surface as an extracellular loop (EL5). A large preponderance of amino acids shown to be surface accessible by biochemical experiments mapped near to, or on, the extracellular surface. Docking of Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitors to the extracellular surface suggested that inhibitor binding on an extracellular site is made up from several amino acids of different regions of the protein. The results present a novel testable, three-dimensional model illustrating NHE1 structure and accounting for experimental biochemical data.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
